WELCOME SMILE PROGRAM – Free Restorative Dentures for Abused Women

The Welcome Smile program continues to successfully grow with over 15 partnering agencies that refer their client to our dental clinic for free treatments to get back on their feet so they may get into the door for an interview using their brand new smile! Recently we had to place over 10 women on hold due to a gap in funding but thanks to the Omidyar Family Fund, the Hawaii Women’s Legal Foundation, Women’s Fund, and others who have made it possible to have our organization continue to bring new smiles so far over 30 women in 2019!
